[Bricolage-General] "story" vs "cover"

Feb 18, 2003, 1:50 PM

Post #1 of 5 (998 views)

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out how I can tell the difference between a cover
and a story.
I am generating a "bread crumb" and I only want to output the title of
the story if it is in fact of "story" type.
I am doing this in the autohandler:

<snip>

% if ($story->get_primary_category->ancestry_dir !~ /^\/home/
% && $story->get_primary_category &&
$story->get_primary_category->get_name ne 'Root Category') {
 > 
<a href="<% $story->get_primary_category->ancestry_dir %>/"
class="bread">
<% $story->get_primary_category->get_name %></a>
% }

</snip>

I looked thru the perldocs, but i didn't see anything obvious.
anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Why not just put the bread crumb in your story.mc template but not in
your cover.mc template?

I wish I could, it has todo with the design constraints I have.
I hope this doesn't mean that there is no way to discern between the
two?

What about $m->top_comp (or $m->request_comp in Bricolage 1.5.0/Mason
1.1x)?

Actually, I'm being silly. You can just check $element->get_name! The
top-level (story type) element is the one that's in scope in an
autohandler.

HTH,

David
